Prime Factorisation and Cube Problems Involving 594

Secondary 1
    1. Express \(594\) as a product of its prime factors.
    2. Find the smallest positive integer \(k\) such that \(\frac{594}{\sqrt{k}}\) is a perfect cube.
  1. Megan is playing with \(594\) cubes. Megan uses all \(594\) cubes to make a cuboid.
    Each of the sides of the cuboid is made up of more than \(3\) cubes. Find the number of cubes on each side of the cuboid.
  2. Each cube has a volume of \(2\) cm³. Calculate the maximum number of cubes that Megan can fit into a box of dimensions \(8\) cm by \(10\) cm by \(10\) cm.

For part (c), arrange the cubes in straight rows and layers with their edges parallel to the box edges.
